The random-cluster model has been widely studied as a unifying framework for random graphs, spin systems and electrical networks, but its dynamics have so far largely resisted analysis. In this paper we analyze the Glauber dynamics of the…

We perform Monte Carlo simulations using the Wolff cluster algorithm of the q=2 (Ising), 3, 4 and q=10 Potts models on dynamical phi-cubed graphs of spherical topology with up to 5000 nodes. We find that the measured critical exponents are…

The Potts model is one of the most popular spin models of statistical physics. The prevailing majority of work done so far corresponds to the lattice version of the model. However, many natural or man-made systems are much better described…

In this paper, we prove sharpness of the phase transition for the random-cluster model in summable positive external fields, with cluster weight q=2,3,..., on the hypercubic lattice. That is, there exists some nontrivial critical parameter…

We introduce an exponential random graph model for networks with a fixed degree distribution and with a tunable degree-degree correlation. We then investigate the nature of a percolation transition in the correlated network with the Poisson…

Percolation is a model for random damage to a network. It is one of the simplest models that displays a phase transition: when the network is severely damaged, it falls apart in many small connected components, while if the damage is light,…

We introduce a general framework to show the indistinguishability of infinite clusters (ergodicity of the cluster subrelation) in group-invariant percolation processes with a weaker version of the finite energy property: the possibility of…

The Fortuin-Kasteleyn (FK) random cluster model, which can be exactly mapped from the $q$-state Potts spin model, is a correlated bond percolation model. By extensive Monte Carlo simulations, we study the FK bond representation of the…

We introduce a correlated static model and investigate a percolation transition. The model is a modification of the static model and is characterized by assortative degree-degree correlation. As one varies the edge density, the network…

The properties of the pure-site clusters of spin models, i.e. the clusters which are obtained by joining nearest-neighbour spins of the same sign, are here investigated. In the Ising model in two dimensions it is known that such clusters…

The couplings between the Ising model and its graphical representations, the random-cluster, random current and loop $\mathrm{O}(1)$ models, are put on common footing through a generalization of the Swendsen-Wang-Edwards-Sokal coupling. A…

Universality is a fundamental concept in modern physics. For the $q$-state Potts model, the critical exponents are merely determined by the order-parameter symmetry $S_q$, spatial dimensionality and interaction range, independent of…

We develop a percolation model motivated by recent experimental studies of gels with active network remodeling by molecular motors. This remodeling was found to lead to a critical state reminiscent of random percolation (RP), but with a…
